Bandai Namco and Rebel Wolves have published the final PC requirements for The Blood of Dawnwalker, giving players four performance targets to compare before the game launches on September 3.
On August 19, 2026, Rebel Wolves shared the requirements in an official X post and clarified in a follow-up reply that Balanced upscaling is the setting used for the targets.
An earlier 4K Ultra recommendation had called for an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 at 60 FPS, but that GPU does not appear in the final chart.
The single-player open-world action RPG takes place in a dark fantasy world ruled by vampires and uses Unreal Engine 5. Players control Coen, a young man transformed into a Dawnwalker who balances human resolve with vampiric abilities.
The main story gives players 30 in-game days to complete their quest. Important actions move the clock forward, so the game’s time limit is tied directly to how players spend their days.
The four PC performance targets
The entry-level target is 1080p at 30 FPS on Low settings. The higher tiers move to 1080p at 60 FPS on Medium, 1440p at 60 FPS on High, and 4K at 60 FPS on Ultra. The published targets use DLSS, FSR, or XeSS upscaling set to Balanced.

Intel Core i5-11400F or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X |

Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X |
16 GB | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, AMD Radeon RX 7600XT, or Intel Arc B580 |

16 GB | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070Ti or AMD Radeon RX 9070 |
12 GB or more | 60 GB SSD Windows 10 or later, DirectX 12 |
Every performance tier calls for 16 GB of system memory, while the graphics requirement rises from 6 GB of VRAM at the lowest target to 12 GB for 4K Ultra. The processor requirement also climbs to an Intel Core i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D at the top setting.
Bandai Namco will release The Blood of Dawnwalker on September 3. PC players can now compare their hardware with the final targets before Coen’s vampire journey begins.
